Since I am a woman who gets around mostly by bicycle, I tend to think of the threat men can pose as being similar to the threat cars pose to me. Most drivers are fine. The majority of them can coexist with me on the street. Still, I assume there’s a chance that every single driver I encounter _could_ harm me, and behave accordingly.

It doesn’t mean I have a problem with drivers, or I hate them. It’s not personal at all. Does that help clarify things for anyone?
